These eggs were cleaned, fumigated and stored for 06 days at temperature of 16C and humidity 70-75%. Eggs were equally divided into four groups i.e. A, B, C, and D having 80 eggs in each group. The group A was considered as controlled. The eggs of groups B and D were pre heated before setting in incubator while Turning was carried out on the eggs of groups C and D. After incubation (21 days) the hatchability percentages of all the groups were 76%, 77%, 80%, and 82.5% for the groups A, B, C and D respectively. Turning and pre-heating of hatching eggs during holding period did not influence the hatchability percentages significantly (P�0.05). Turning during holding period was responsible for the significant differences(P�0.05) in day old chick weight, weight gain in first week of age and early mortality percentages (during incubation) and had no effects(P�0.05) on F. C. R during first and second week of age. Pre heating of hatching eggs before incubation had no effect (P�0.05) on day old chick weight, weight gain in first and second week of age, F. C. R in first and second week of age and early mortality percentages.<#LINE#>Khan M.J.@Effect of storage, preheating, and turning during storage on Hatchability@1 st Edition.

The principal objective of this study is to describe the variations in morphology of the species as well as determine its sexually dimorphic traits, using landmark-based geometric morphometrics. A total of 55 (25 females and 30 males) specimens were analyzed. Twenty landmark points were digitized from which relative warp score were derived. Discriminant function analysis and thin-plate spline plot showed significant difference between body shape of the sexes with males exhibiting bigger head, along with elongated dorsal and anal fin bases. The bigger head of males relative to females could be a result of sexual selection, whereas, the elongated dorsal and anal fins could be a product of ecological/niche selection.<#LINE#>Herre A.W., Distribution of true fresh-water fishes in the Philippines, I, The Philippine Cyprinidae.

Punica granatum L. is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub, belonging to the family Lythraceae and is cultivated throughout Asia, Middle-East and the Mediterranean region. The shrub has been known to possess several medicinal and curative properties. The present investigation focuses on antimicrobial properties, phytochemical analysis and antioxidant potential of leaf extracts of Punica granatum L. The methanolic extract inhibited Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella typhi and Proteus mirabilis, whereas, the chloroform, ethyl acetate and aqueous extracts exhibited moderate inhibitory effects against the test bacteria. On the other hand, only methanolic extract demonstrated antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Trichophyton rubrum, Candida albicans and Cryptococcus sp. The phytochemical screening of the methanolic extract of the leaves revealed the presence of carbohydrates, reducing sugars, sterols, glycosides, phenolics, tannins, flavonoids, proteins and saponins, whereas, gums were not detected. Total antioxidant potential of the methanolic and aqueous extracts were found as 2.26 and 1.06 mg of ascorbic acid equivalent per ml of the extract, respectively. The results indicated that the methanolic extract of the leaves are pharmacologically more active than the other extracts.<#LINE#>Samy R.P., Pushparaj P.N. and Gopalakrishnakone P.A.@Compilation of bioactive compounds from Ayurveda@Bioinformation, 3, 100–110 (2008)@No$Ballabh B. and Chaurasia O.P.@Traditional medicinal plants of cold desert Ladakh--used in treatment of cold@cough and fever, J.

Cocos nuciferamesocarp extract can also be used as an antimicrobial agent against clinical pathogens. The purpose of this study was to confirm the anti-bacterial effect of cocos nuciferamesocarp powder using escherichia coli and salmonella typhi. For this six different solvent extracts of cocos nuciferamesocarp powder were produced and the anti-bacterial activity was determined using disc diffusion method. The specific therapeutic compounds were isolated using thin layer chromatography (TLC) and qualitative analysis was performed by high performance liquid chromatogaphy (HPLC) and fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR). The antimicrobial activity was found to be highest in case of benzene solvent against E.coli. In the case of salmonella typhi the antimicrobial activity was found to be highest with diethyl ether. TLC provided two fractions of the coconut shell extract powderwhichwere eluted further. FTIR graphs provided characteristic peaks which represented the components responsible for antimicrobial activity. HPLC helped to identify the active biocomponents as tocopherol, palmitoleyl alcohol, cycloartanol and -sitosterol. The Cocos nuciferamesocarp powder can be utilized to develop indigenous antibiotics which can replace conventional antibiotics.<#LINE#>Harries H.C.

Mathematical models and FFT (fast fourier transform) simulations can be used as experimental tools for testing the control- measures and determining sensitivities of changes in parameter values. The paper deals with an investigation on a four parameters estimates consisting of cure rate (c), infective rate (I), absolute neutrophil count (A) and total carrying capacity (K) only. All six equilibrium points for this model are identified and their stability criteria are analyzed.

To compare the properties of BWply, bamboo mat plywood (Bply) and wood veneer plywood (Wply) were produced. Physical properties i.e., density, moisture content, water absorption and thickness swelling; and mechanical properties i.e., modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), face and edge screw withdrawal and tensile strength (TS) perpendicular to surface of BWply, Bply and Wply were tested according to the procedure of ASTM standard D-1037. Water absorption of BWply, Bply and Wply were 30.83, 28.62 and 65.5%, respectively. Further, MOE of BWply, Bply and Wply were 5276, 6176 and 3879 N/mm, respectively. MOR was higher for BWply (39.5 N/mm) compared to the Bply and Wply panels. Though some properties of BWply were lower than that of the Bply, the properties of BWply meet the minimum requirements of ASTM standard. Finally, the results indicate that BWply made from bamboo mat and wood veneer exhibits superior physical and strength properties compared to the commercial plywood made for structural purposes.<#LINE#>Forest Research Institute (FRI)@Indian Forest Utilization@vol. ?.

This protein has been involved in transcriptional regulation of many proteins associated with chromatin remodelling. Homologs of histone deacetylase are also found in malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum where it plays major role in regulation of key pathways of parasite. In this study, we determined the three-dimensional structure of histone deacetylase from Plasmodium falciparum (PfHDAC) by using homology modelling tools available at Swiss Modeller server and Modweb. Modelled structure was validated using Ramachandran plot and active site determination was performed using CASTp. We believe that structural analysis of PfHDAC could be pivotal in discovering new drug like molecules against malaria parasite.<#LINE#>Li J.

In these ponds water quality and fish production are correlated. Studies have revealed that the ponds are in trophic status. Chlorides, total hardness, alkalinity, BOD, pH and plankton population were high level in wild ponds in comparison to managed ponds. Due to these conditions dissolved oxygen and fish growth/yield was low in wild pond in comparison to managed pond. The net primary productivity was also in wild pond in comparison to managed pond. Hence the fish growth is not directly related with net primary productivity. The deterioration of water quality indicated that higher BOD, pH, and High planktonic diversity decrease the fish growth.
